Franko’s Map of Oahu, The Gathering Place

Hawaii Dive & Hawaii Surf Maps

Fabulous Franko's Maps of Favorite Places!

Recreational maps with scuba diving & snorkeling sites, the best surfing on earth, major visitors attractions,

how-to-get-around road maps, & detailed islands information. These fabulous Hawaiian Islands Maps are

beautiful & inspiring. Perhaps they should be called “Franko’s Aloha Maps”. Scuba divers refer to them as

“Franko’s Hawaiian Dive Maps”, since they feature so much information about local dive sites and reef creatures.


Side 1 shows Franko’s Map of Oahu, with a view of the whole island, it’s mountain ranges shown in

beautiful green shaded relief, as well as it’s freeways and major roads, plus creeks, trails and things to see or

places to go.  Beyond the island, the ocean waters are shown in beautiful shades of tropical ocean blue,

indicating ocean depth contours.  All about the island there are descriptions of it’s fabulous scuba and

snorkeling spots, famous surfing spots, and great places to visit.  Favorite dive spots include Hanauma Bay,

possibly the most snorkeled spot on earth, and also Magic Island right next to Waikiki, the wreck of the Y0-257,

which is visited by the Atlantis tourist submarine right out of Waikiki, the M/V Mahi on Oahu’s west where e

agle rays soar by, Turtles, where numerous green sea turtles can been seen on almost any day, U’lua Cave,

or Black Rock, where white tip reef sharks guard a big cave, and many more.  The North Shore not only

features dive spots like Shark’s Cove, Snagles, Turtle Street and Hale’iwa Trench, but also great surfing spots

like Sunset Beach, Banzai Pipeline, Waimea Bay, Chun’s Reef, Laniakea, and Hale’iwa.  Follow Franko’s map

to Laniakea and check out the old, 300-pound green sea turtles grazing on the algae right at the beach, or even

resting on the beach there, as they have for thousands of years.  The East Shore shows  the map owner where t

o find the Polynesian Cultural Center (the PCC to the locals), the Mormon Hawaii Temple, which is probably

the most beautiful edifice in the State of Hawaii, and Sandy Beach, famous for it’s body-whomping heavy

shorebreak, which commonly ruins a few unwary tourists’ vacations, as they find out just how powerful the

beautiful ocean can be.  Around the map there is a collection of artwork of tropical fish, which are named in Hawaiian

and English, and depicted in a reef environment with photos by Franko.


Side 2 shows Franko’s Map of Waikiki & Oahu South Shore Details.  The entire South Shore from Honolulu to

Makapu’u Head, Oahu’s easternmost point, is shown so that the viewer can get a close-up view of the

island topography, including Diamond Head Crater.  More things to do, places to visit, dive and diving sites are

shown.  The highlight of this side of the map is the superbly detailed map of Waikiki, which shows where

everything is, including most of the hotels, Kapiolani Park, Ala Moana Beach Park, Waikiki Beach, the

Ala Moana Shopping Center, the International Market Place, over 200 buildings, the DFS Galleria, the

Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, Ala Wai Harbor, Ala Wai Canal, Ala Wai Golf Course, and much more. 

Local well known surfing, snorkeling and diving spots are shown with descriptions as well.  This map of

Waikiki is the very best there is, except for the one that appears on Franko’s Map of Waikiki and Oahu with Things

to See and Do. In depth topographical map of Oahu with detailed listing of beaches dive sites and the tropical fish

in the area. Printed on waterproof tear-resistant paper.
